Sony's seen a sizeable boost in PlayStation Now subscribers since it overhauled the service last year, allowing for downloads of PlayStation 4 games. Back in May, the company revealed that PS Now had hit 700,000 users, and now, it's smashed through 1 million subs. It's not a huge number when you take total PS4 sales into account -- the console having passed 100 million units -- but it does show promising growth.
It's also worth noting that PS Now's price was slashed at the beginning of October, which no doubt factors into these new figures. We imagine that the service is only going to become more and more popular from here on out, especially since Sony has confirmed that PS Now will be available on PlayStation 5.
PS Now's initially slow start is somewhat reminiscent of the early days of PlayStation Plus, and over time, Sony has been able to turn that service into an absolute juggernaut. It'll be looking to do the same with PS Now over the course of the next generation, and it'll be interesting to see how the service evolves from this point on.

The price drop I’m sure helped. I’m going to get a year of it myself.
Nice, even though I can't take advantage of it as much as I want with all the new games releasing, it is a great service/value for the right situation. Hopefully it expands next gen!
I still need to try the 7 day trial, since I'm more interested since the price drop.
That's a hell of a lot of money coming in each month!
Whether people like it or not these subscription services are only gonna grow as well
Not a member. I don't support anti-consumer services like this and Gamepass. If you stop and think about it for more than 5 minutes, a subscription service in gaming is pretty stupid on the consumer's end. Then again we live in a subscription heavy environment and people have already proven they're too stupid to see just how bad it is so whatever, it's their money. In 5 years when they're complaining I'll just smile and move along.
@Nintyfan we should be all as smart as you and pay $100 for thecollectors edition of each game available on psnow.
@Neolit @Nintyfan People want everything for nothing something has got too give. People now look more how long a game is not good it is. Want to less if the quality is worse. Sell of their rights for a discount you get what you deserve. They rather have the copy with MT, Lootboxes, copy and paste game well the kids are brainwashed already better start saving for those retro consoles. 😉
@jess3a3 You could buy a normal game. Or silly me buy the best ones around. 😉
Never touching that garbage.
@JayDub im never touching your opinion. Ps now has all the god of war games, metal gear games, uncharted games, gta 5. Keep paying $60 per game. I bet you have a Netflix subscription lmfao.
@Flaming_Kaiser metal gear, uncharted, god of war, gta 5 are the best games and are all on psnow. Strong opinions for something you know little about.
Subbed at the price drop and deal where i got it for £40 for the year.
Have at least 8 PS4 games i am interested in playing. Several PS3 games i missed as i couldn't afford many games last gen and PS2 games i'd love to revisit.
If i beat 20 games in the next year. Its basically £2 a game which is a steal.
Ps NOW numbers will only grow.
@jess3a3 Newsflash you just did and it hurt your feelings lol
I will always buy games I love full price and play them day 1, Netflix is garbage as well.
@jess3a3 What point do you want too make? I own all the games on disc excerpt GTA i dont like GTA. The only i really liked was Vice City which i still own on a disc.
I recently subscribed to PlayStation Now. It’s an amazing service. For the price of one new game ($59), you gain access to over 800 games for a year. PS4 and PS2 games can be downloaded while PS3 games are streamed.
I have a modest internet connection and have experienced zero lag or latency.
If you’re on the fence, I say it’s time to jump in. At least do the 7 day trial! It’s worth it.
I’ve played the following games so far:
God of War (2018)
Fallout 4
Metal Gear Remastered Collection
The Last of Us
Metal Slug 3
Limbo
Capcom Classics
Catherine
Altered Beast
R-Type
Street Fighter 4
Revenge of Shinobi
Sonic
Heavy Rain
My List:
